Background

ACOX1(Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway and catalyzes the desaturation of acyl-CoAs to 2-trans-enoyl-CoAs. It belongs to the acyl-CoA oxidase family and also named as ACOX, AOX, SCOX. It has 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing with the molecular mass of 70-74 kDa and can be cleaved post-translationally into a 50-kDa and a 22-kDa subunit between Val468 and Ala469 (PMID: 10672038). Defects in ACOX1 are the cause of adrenoleukodystrophy pseudoneonatal (Pseudo-NALD).
